Watch now!
On a big Election Day, Gloria, a young woman in her 20s, is squarely convinced that she does not need to go vote...that is, until she is befriended by two hidden figures from history. Will these civil rights legends convince her in time to make it to the polls? Nashville Opera is proud to present this true Nashville opera—beautifully written, composed, sung, and filmed by Nashvillians. We can’t think of a better way to mark our big 4-0!
